Congratulations, Officer Freeman!
Please join us in congratulating our incredible School Resource Officer, Officer Tom Freeman of the Napoleon Township Police Department, on successfully graduating from the Michigan State Police TEAM School Liaison Program, alongside 25 other officers from across Michigan!
The TEAM program is a school-based, law-related curriculum designed for students in grades K–12 and taught by specially trained law enforcement officers. The program brings together educators, students, and law enforcement to help young people make safe, informed decisions and protect themselves from crime.
As part of the intensive 40-hour training, officers receive instruction in student and juvenile psychology, classroom management, and public speaking. The curriculum covers important topics such as personal safety, how to call 911, the law and you, and dating violence, while also addressing today’s evolving school safety concerns, including:
• School safety and security
• Bullying and harassment
• Cybercrime and social media
• Illicit drugs and vaping
• Facility safety assessments
We are incredibly proud to have Officer Freeman serving our students and community! His commitment to building positive relationships with students and helping keep our schools safe is truly appreciated.

Napoleon Community Schools is excited to announce the scheduled opening of our new fitness center on Tuesday, May 12th. Part of the 2023 bond approved by voters, this new fitness center will be a staffed, membership-based facility open to residents of the Napoleon School District and will replace the current key-card entry system that is used for community members in the current weight room. Beginning on May 12th, the weight room will be reserved for use by Napoleon students and athletes under the supervision of Napoleon teachers and coaches.
Applications for membership to the new facility can be found here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1RaC38go4-a7omCWnk3szclEMF6EvfQwbCYvsb0lcZOE/edit
We will begin processing these applications on Monday, April 20th so that we can ensure a smooth transition for our community members that are moving from the weight room to the fitness center. Current key cards will be deactivated on May 12th.
We will also be hosting a community open house on Wednesday, April 29th from 6:00 – 8:00 PM for those that would like to preview the new fitness center.
This is a great addition to our campus footprint and we are looking forward to seeing our community take advantage of this amenity.
